Hi, new camera with a new "sandisk ultra 16GB" memory card. It records just fine but there is no "syscfg.txt" file on the card and I can't seem to make it create one. When I copy/create one manually it is ignored - I change settings but the changes aren't reflected in the camera's actions. Yes, the file is ASCII encoded.
To create the syscfg.txt I've tried holding down the "M" button then pressing the power button and holding/waiting for the 3 red flashes and power off, as well as various variations of that theme but have been wholly unsuccessful at getting it to create a syscfg.txt onto the drive.
So whilst we're at it: is the name of the file case sensitive? I've tried SYSCFG.TXT, syscfg.txt, SYSCFG.txt with no discernible change in results. I've tried both FAT and exFAT.
I'm on OS X and have tried the 'mobiusmanager.app' but it needs a syscfg.txt to get started; i've copied one off the web and edited the last two lines to match my firmware, and saved and unmounted... still doesn't seem to react to my config. I might add I've tried firmware versions 1.13 and 1.20 without any change in results. Man I've wasted hours trying to this thing to behave.
So the primary question at this point is to ask if I'm doing the right thing in order to have it write the syscfg.txt when there is none, what I am doing is:
1) turn it on (some flashing thence steady yellow light)
2) hold down the "M" button (yellow light turns to steady blue light)
3) hold down the power button (steady blue light - nothing happens for... 30 seconds then finally a little triple red flash peeks out from behind the blue... then all the lights go out and it appears to be off).
4) release both buttons
5) plug in the usb cable connected to an iMac (OSX mavericks)
6) open Finder and go to the disk
7) no syscfg.txt
There I see all that mac crap... ".fseventsd" folder, ".Spotlight-V100" folder, ".Trashes" folder. If I have hit record at some point since reformatting there is a "DCIM" folder with some .MOV's down there.
But there is never ever no matter what I try a "SYSCFG.TXT" file. And if I put one there manually (via VIM or via the mac app - making sure it is indeed ascii) it gets ignored.
How do I get it to dump this stupid file!?
Thence pay attention to it's contents?
